TradeNotes is a full trading journal and notes studio that lives inside your chart. It opens from a button in your chart header — no second app, no alt-tabbing away from price. Build pre-market checklists, log live trades, write session reviews, and keep your playbook one click away. Create your own page templates once and reuse them every day, with section headers, checklists, tables, stat scoreboards, images and more. Everything auto-saves as you type, any page can be saved as a file anywhere on disk, and pages export to clean HTML for sharing or archiving. Free, fully audited, and built by a trader who journals every session.
"I've tried keeping a trading journal in Notion, in a notebook, in spreadsheets — and I always stopped because it meant leaving the chart. Having it open right from the chart header changed everything. My pre-market checklist is the first thing I see, I log trades as they happen, and the session review template is waiting for me at the close. Three weeks in and it's the first journal habit that's actually stuck. The fact that it auto-saves means I never think about it — I just write."
"The templates are the killer feature. I built my own pre-market routine once and now it's one click every morning. Auto-save means I never lose a thing."
"Really useful having my checklist on the chart. Would love drag-to-reorder for elements in a future version, but it's already saving me time every day."
"Being able to save each day's report as its own file and reopen recent ones is exactly how I want to journal. I export the weekly review to HTML and email it to my trading group. Didn't expect this much from a free tool — it's more capable than apps I've paid for."
"Set up my routine in ten minutes and now it's part of every session. The stat scoreboard for tracking my daily R is brilliant. Highly recommend."
